Yes, that’s a critical point. We used to just call boyish girls “Tomboys”, and it wasn’t a big deal, certainly did not require permanently disfiguring, sterilizing surgery.

No. Kindergarten is the time to teach learning fundamentals. Sex education is for the sexually awakening, and just because some pervert is panting after them doesn’t mean five-year-olds are sexually awakening.

A transgender boy was able to undress in the girls locker room at my daughter’s high school. ( Washington State. )

“Experts” my foot!

They are nothing but mentally unstable perverts advocating this sickness & disease.

My only question is how long it will take for these fools to put me in jail for saying it.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

But experts say kindergarten is a good time to start talking to brainwashing kids about gender identity.

THAT's the truth.

Transgenderism often fosters sexism, as a few feminists pointed out about “I am Jazz”. By saying a girl who likes sports might be a boy and a boy who likes cooking might be a girl, it is pushing the most restrictive gender stereotypes as the definition of the sex and says “maybe you have to give up those activities or alter your body”.

Agreed.

What they don't realize is that they are really doubling down and reinforcing the old gender stereotypes that they claimed they rejected for so long.

A boy who like to do *girl* things like playing with dolls? A girl who's a tomboy and likes sports and hunting with dad?

Instead of saying no problem, it's sexist to assign roles like that, they are telling them now that it really means they are a girl instead or a boy instead.

They are teaching them to deny themselves, who they are, based on the things they are interested in. They are not accepting the individual differences in every child but rather forcing them into molds that are completely subjective.

They are teaching them to not accept themselves as they are and who they are.

a good time to start talking to kids about gender identity.

As opposed to a good time to start talking to them about Biological REALITY?

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human

>>a girl who likes sports might be a boy and a boy who likes cooking might be a girl,

Immediately recognizable as self-evident bullshyte by anyone who's familiar with the facts regarding Human Reproductive Biology and its naturally selective history.

There be girls. There be boys. And there are misfits. Don't be a misfit, stay away from them and life will work itself out. Be a misfit or support them, and life will be full of agony and despair. Be what you were born with and accept it, and prosper. Lesson over.

No! Nor should they include anything about homosexuality.

Well, my grandson was a star in KG, and incidentally was the biggest neocon in the room, in matters sexual. He had a mental list of the “Pretty Girls” in his class, and was some kind of ring leader ... I dunno.

HEY! TEACHER! LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!

We often hear the old chestnut, “There’s no such thing as a stupid question.” I disagree. THIS is a stupid question.

At that age you can also be a puppy, a kitty, or a fire truck in a boy’s body. Only an idiot liberal would take a casual make believe comment and turn it into a straight jacket that defines a child for life.
